Since I discovered Canadian Prepper I've survived 14 nuclear wars.
😆
rofl
Right? Dude takes fear mongering to a level that he should be working for the government lol
And don’t forget the three earthquakes
I like his videos, but those ones got old after awhile. Hopefully he comes back around to make cool shit again.
What is interesting is that when you are in the field there are very few things that you actually use. You are tired and don't want to take the time or have the frustration to mess with much of anything. You want to be hydrated and warm mostly. Army 7 years and Boy Scouts about 10 years. All the small stuff and gadgets just sit in your bag.
hydration and warmth go a long way!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Was thinking the same thing...I'm in the desert...I pack, water, more water, food, a weapon and appropriate clothes. I use old belts like M1956 with ALICE clips...people say I'm old fashioned. I stick to 35 lbs that obviously gets lighter.
I was in army over 25 years ago (conscript) and then it was KISS-style, of course basically budget restrictions. But nowadays these molle/pals bags with dozens of pockets, straps, items and complicated tech is manageable for military personel who live with them, but not for reservists and non military personel.
And when we have seen and heard about this ukraine conflict it is still same basics as it has been in ww2 era. It is totally different from afganistan and iraq. In ukraine you don't fight 9 to 5 and go home base to have fun. It's cold and it's misery. So less extra stuff more basics warmth and water. And because those aren't pros who have worked in tight team and know everything in their team. They are older men who have been civilians and never prepared to breath and live war. And that is what it will be if war escalates in europe.
such a great point. being thirsty and cold absolutely takes the joy out of life :D
id add hunger that as well which also crushes morale
I'd like to add the importance of a clean groin and pits. Always brought baby wipes when in was in.
The fear mongering is why I stopped watching the Canadian Prepper.
Yeah it gets old really fast.
So many people are fooled by his click bait
You’d think that human civilization has collapsed 50 times by now.
Same here smh
I refer to him as Panicky Guy #1 from the old David Letterman show
First thing I noticed is the gear is perfectly clean 😂
cleanliness is next to godliness? dirty gear causes many issues. maybe its something drummed into my head from rock climbing in scouts... but dirty gear is dangerous.
sure gear gets dirty. but keep it clean the best you can, everything within reason of course
he doesn't do it, he is a show
True words.
I used to be a fan of CP.
His video about camping out in his van made me realise that he had NEVER camped out in a van.
He was super surprised about condensation and stuff that is just normal.
He sells stuff... thats it.
@@standingbear998 Well of course he doesn't. The SHTF scenario he preps for has yet to come. That's his whole thing. How can he be out surviving SHTF if it hasn't happened yet?
ahahahahah nice one i wouldnt have caught that
According to Canadian prepper we should have been dead years ago. Every episode says any day now its all over
I agree about the clean gear.
If it's clean, it's a commercial. If it's dirty and / or scratched, it's a review.
that's a good standard to measure by.
100% Buddy.
You all need to know that he owns a business by the same name. He is trying to sell you products by doing these videos. Everything in that B.O.B is what he sells in his store. I unsubscribed from him when he was talking about nuclear bombs every day and tried to analyse the war in ukraine like he has any military experience.
Funny how he never breaks anything, never uses anything up, never talks about how something may only be good in certain situations. Just, the world is ending, and you need EVERYTHING....which you can find on his site.
@amandagurtman7174, That’s exactly when I clicked on the “do not recommend this channel” button. His supposed war analysis was ridiculous. I look forward to never watching his content again.
The Canadian Prepper is a salesman without a doubt. He gives some good advice and insight from time to time so he does come off as credible but he has his hands in a lot of the things he has
Yup very true, I've come to the same conclusion that is all pretty much for sales.
Right
5% truth with 95% fantasy is still fantasy.
And yeah
His daily doom and gloom stories would have all of us dead many times over.
Too much sales takes away from his credibility
I like to watch his videos from the unlikely worst case scenario point of view.
Agreed, always selling or pushing something
@@aaftiyoDkcdicurak Exactly
I've always been told, and practiced, "The more you know, the less gear you need", and always stay fit, and "practice, Practice, Practice"!!!
That paleo guy with practically nothing on him but a 4"x4" piece of cloth.
Canadian prepper just interviewed the ceo of the company that makes bomb shelters for government and that guy made me more nervous than any other video I actually started buying long shelf life food. It also made me ask a question……. Why are we the only civilized country with no bomb shelters for the public ?
I'd guess b/c the US has never been invaded or attacked in a conventional fashion unlike Europe which is usually at war every 50 years or so.
it's because we aren't a few miles from multiple countries like everyone in Europe is.
Because they're too busy buying bombs😂
What are you on about? It's the government's duty to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens in times of a nuclear or radiological emergency. During the Cold War, tens of thousands of them were built and many of them are still being maintained to this day.
There are plenty of public shelters. Just contact your local government to find out where the closest one to you is located. You most likely have a public fallout shelter in one or multiple of the following locations: schools, community centers, and/or government offices.
I would hate to be in a bomb shelter with a bunch of strangers. Lol.
He has a lot of products to sell and he doesn't want to leave anything out!
damn good point lol. I also have a store where I sell a few things, however I like to use and abuse this stuff before I sell it to ensure the quality. This knife is a great example of a bit of gear I use in real life on the regular and also promote in my store.
th-cam.com/video/xfLOZB-JEYk/w-d-xo.html
Yep
Yup lots of stuff, from usable to junk and all at 200% regular price..
He is a scam artist that doesnt even carry anything that he sells to novice rookies!!!
You got scammed!!!
@@hunterfishman7119clearly Nate goes camping with his dog and kids. His cold weather videos are interesting.
The points made are good ones. A survival bag or thick builder’s bag would be good around that blanket. The point about the knife in the belt.
I found a rucksack and filled it, with similar stuff. No tent. Then 6 suitcases. I also have a 40 lb edc I have carried for years.
I plan to get into a nearby r o t a r.
He's no longer the Canadian prepper... He's the QVC prepper lol...
BAHAHAHA brutal!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost TRUE!
Hahaha haha
And he went from QVC Prepper to Daily Doom and Gloom Prepper.
evolution lol
Canadian Prepper is a goof ! No practical experience other than his city back yard ! 😂
LOL so true. But he certainly knows a lot about nuclear war…….they happen daily I guess according to his fear videos
When I was in my late teens, in the Army, I could carry an 80 lb fully loaded combat pack. Later, on average, I carried a 60 lb backpack when backpacking. Realistically, most people are not comfortable with 30 or or 40 lbs unless they backpack or hike a lot! CP is a big man and obviously works out a lot, but, most of us cannot carry so much. My B.O.B weighs about 34 lbs and I am quite fit for my age. My point is, everyone needs to try out , for themselves, what they can carry, and go from there.
Same here when I was the Marines we’d go out in the town all weekend, show up hung over on Monday, run a 5k and then a 10 mile ruck later lol
Big man yes, but once the calories start to deplete he won’t have the energy to carry all that weight around
And they also need to build up to it.
Which is what he says at the start of his video
Ya I did a stint (CF)when I was a young man. Ya we were forced to pack all our shit because it build character.
In reality I only carry my pack 20-30lbs because when your older you don’t do well carrying a house.
Don't forget that Canadian prepper said in the start of the vid that everybody's situation is different. Each environment is different. And you should adjust accordingly.
that is true and I agreed 100% on that point in the video. don't copy pasta everything you see lol
Yeah….he also said weekly we were all going to die 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The bloke is a Berkley Hunt of the highest order………
He is the most useless TH-cam prepper always terrifying people to prep for something then it’s not gonna happen
@@spencermorrow2899 Everyday that he is wrong gives us another day to get more squared away. The fact that things haven’t happened is more luck than him being wrong about the situation in the world. He provides the information in one spot. You decide how to react to it. When you dig you can find all the same information that is kept buried by MSM.
A lot of Canadian Preppers presentations are directed at people who are rich. When I pointed this out to him, he was very nasty in his reply. I happily clicked on "do not recommend this channel" months ago. He sells fear.
You are so fair, measured, and informative. The opposite of fear mongering. Just honest and helpful. Thank you.
I appreciate that 👍
65 year old exmarine here our alice pack back then was one poncho one shelter half a trenching tool a mummy type sleeping bag rifle and maybe a kabar. a couple boxes of vietnam era c rations and a compass. this is when we were in quantico training new butter bars as they were going thru ocs. couldnt tell you how many times ive been in camp with my feet at the fire and have my boots catch fire before my feet thawed out . ive slept outside beside the fire to wake up with a couple inches of snow on top of me. somehow i made it through without all the new gadgets
RAH thanks for checking in salty devil
dog
If it worked in Vietnam, it would work today!
I got one of those Alice packs you speak of 1st gift from my wife, my go to b.o.b 20yrs later.
"Ex Marine"....dafuq Devil Dog??? 🤨
I grew up in the fifties and sixties and lived in some houses that were not only not insulated but some that the wind blew thru, woke up one morning with two feet of snow in the house with our beds covered, couldn't figure out why my covers were so heavy until I pushed them off and got a face full off snow, we then had to shovel the house out and shovel a path to the outhouse. Nobody died and there were many others who lived in similar situations. Imagine what the settler's lives were like. People today are just plain spoiled.
I don’t believe he rucks those bags farther than the driveway. His show is all fear based and his bags are freaking crazy heavy.
Bag is def not light
Have you watched his channel? lol
@@OutlawCaliber13 I've watched him and I completely agree. The guy is selling the doom and gloom, which has become especially bananas now after the Russian invasion; it's one judgement day video after the other which unfortunately is making him the $$$. And judging by his pack in this video the guy got no clue; it's way too heavy with unnecessary gear instead of water, food and just the basic tools.
@@YeeLeeHaw You should reread what you said. lol The world is going to crap, and he's making videos reporting on what the news ain't. You're blaming him because he makes money off reporting news that the news media should be reporting? lol Come on, man. Tell me you can see the irony in what you just said? If you wanna get down to it, a lot of us have heavier packs than we actually need. Mine certainly is. I carry extra tools for the purpose of making more secure shelter, and for self defense. Curious question, how many videos do you make that are free to watch that try to educate people on any subject?
@@YeeLeeHawIt’s unbelievable how he’ll have a doom headline like shtf is about to hit but the content is just mundane info like camping or pushing a product. Also I wonder if half the comments on his videos are even real because I notice its nonstop “thank yous” and “appreciated” over and over on each video.
Yeah I tried that knife on the backpack shoulder thing. It took the 300 yard walk from the truck to the trailhead to realize it sucked. Messed with my peripheral vision, constantly banging my jaw on it and like you also thought of, cutting myself by accident resheathing. Plus, I would certainly lose an entire pack to a charging bear, to move quicker and hopefully create a diversion. The thought of losing my primary tool for survival and defense is not an option. And who the hell gets into basically H2H with upwards of 50lbs wobbling around on their back?!
my pack has a two snap quick release if I were running from a bear
As an ultralite hiker who dabbles in bushcraft I have to laugh when people say their pack weighs 40-50lbs. Even in winter carrying a knife, folding saw, extra clothing, 5days food, 2litres water, Im still under 35lbs. You simply dont need all that stuff. The more knowledge you gain the lighter your pack becomes.
well said. what does your sleep system look like? that's usually where most people incur the most weight
@@TheSurvivalOutpost - I splurge on sleep gear because I feel sleep is the most important tool I have. I experimented with hammocks for many months even sleeping in them full time while at home. I eventually came to the conclusion that ground sleeping is more comfortable and will ALWAYS weigh less. So right now im using the Nemo Tensor regular size sleeping pad and whatever goose down blanket I happen to have...Usually a 30°f Enlightened top quilt. I've been slowly training my neck muscles to not require a pillow by using thinner and thinner pillows while at home. But if I feel the need for a pillow I usually stuff my down jacket into a dry bag at night. Of course if doing bushcraft you have to make all your sleep gear with leaves and sticks or simply lay on the ground by the fire. Bushcraft tends to require more days in the field which also requires setting out trap lines to gather calories. So you stay in one place. I prefer to travel so Im usually thru hiking unless on private property.
Can confirm. Ive been a couch camper for years (never actually went camping lol), and I was a hardcore tent advocate, but now I would recommend a tarp mostly due to weight reasons
Teach me Sensei
I packed all around the world for quite a few years, heaviest two items were tent and sleeping bag, about twelve pounds combined. Then extra clothing. Then my photography equipment-- about 40 pounds of it-- then I worried about food. My Camp Trails frame was normally weighing in from 70-80 pounds (it weighed less going down hill).
You can learn something from literally anybody… might be good or bad things… always be open to learning.
that is so true, excellent point
You should learn to ignore people that constantly scream that the sky is falling and that nuclear war is starting in days. Or that Covid stuff is sure to start the un troops running roughshod over the populace. Or that the dollar has mere hours before we’re worse off than zimbabwe. Or whatever nonsense he’s on about any given day.
It’s not survival. It’s not preparedness. It’s “how can I scare people into buying as much of my shit as possible.”
Never leave home without a good compass and good maps. Laminate the pages if possible, make sure the compass has a ruler on it's side and bring a sharpie. When or if you find yourself in "real" woods, old growth stuff, if you lose sight of your entry point, it all looks the same, it's incredibly easy to get lost as there's almost no point of reference inside those forests. Seriously, it happens to a lot of experienced hikers and even hunters.
Such a good point about map and compass
Learning alternative tips & tricks from the military on how to navigate terrain is probably well invested time too.
Very true after years of working rivers in remote places you get really good a remembering land marks. Sometimes I feel like I get lost easier in the city then in the jungle 😂
Remember... he was on a survivalist show. I thought he was a msrine or something. He is a psychiatrist tgat shocks me because he is putting people into a anxiety filled fear every day. I think hes using scarw tactics to sell product's. . Hes crying wolf. People believe him. Where does he get sll his news? No one else hears about ut.
@@kittycato2023 I will say this, if you're watching network television for news, then you are getting any news. There is no news on any Canadian, US or BBC mainstream news, there are lies and stories that shouldn't even be on the news given what's going on in the world. That being said, Nate, if we're still talking about Canadian Prepper, hears one thing and reports another in order to spread hyperbole.
This is all that tacticool stuff we always joked about when I was in the military. He looks like that private who just got out of basic and spent his whole sign on bonus lol
BAHAHAHA and then bought his first car at a 35% interest rate :D
One thing he always talks about having in his bug-out bag is a small bag of nails because apparently he likes to make them into fish hooks to catch fish which just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If you were planning on bugging out to an area where you could fish why wouldn't you just bring something like a little Altoids tin filled with fishing hooks, fishing line, sinkers, etc?
Yeah I agree why not just use fishhooks 🤷♂️
@@TheSurvivalOutpost there were times where I questioned what he was saying.
You can carry about 20 fishhooks for the weight of a couple of nails. I guess I really question the wisdom of a bug-out bag at all. You'll just be a refugee, with no skills. If you depend on a bag full of crap, it is guaranteed to let you down.
Glad there is someone else that sees the errors of his ways.
Reminds me of that goofball NYPrepper.
I think in terms of 8 pillars of survival: shelter, fire, water, medical, communications/signaling, navigation, food,and personal protection. Then I build my kits from there, to cover all those bases. Canadian Prepper has created a shopping mall/ Amazon conglomeration of “stuff”, which while all good, to a point, is “stuff centric”. I rate this kit about a 5 out of 10, a lot of “gee whiz” stuff kind of just thrown together.
So glad you mentioned the Pillars of Survival, I'm going to be making a video on this in the future. Great comment
You are right. He is targeting the consumer not a professional or experienced operator.
I have seen so many lists. The ten this and the ten that and now the Eight Pillars and never, ever have I seen the most important factor in survival included in any list. Very interesting.
@Kevin Hart very true.
@@kaoskronostyche9939 being?
I would say from what you showed. The pack is about a 3. That bag and gear is way to rich for my blood. When I camp, I think homeless survival. Good stuff my friend. Stay safe. ✌️
homeless survival mode activated. I love it.
Love Canadian Prepper. Love his gear, skills, and prepping videos, but I just burnt out from the doom and gloom content
feeling is mutual
@@TheSurvivalOutpostSame. We were already supposed to be dead by now. You can imagine my disappointment.
💯
@@AkChiVibes black pill for sure lol
Many of the things I have in my “bug out bag” I found laying on trails. I.e. knives, compass, cordage , mirrors, thermal blanket, magnifying glass, multi-tool, fire starter kits, water purification, mess kit, camping cup even a few firearms. KISS, use what you have leave no trace.
Thanks for mentioning that! Sounds like scavenging pays off
😂😂😂, still love him tho
I live in the province next to Nate. Same landscape, same boreal forest running through it. 6-7 months out of the year nothing grows. It’s not an ideal land to survive long term without a lot of gear and warm shelter. Watch a season of Alone and you’ll see what he has to contend with.
I watched that season of Alone and if I recall correctly, everyone starved.
According to a website his company PO Box is Saskatoon, Saskatchewan I admittedly have never gone out west but I have read about the people who mapped it out and it is not a place where I would want to be stuck out of shelter for even a week.
@@U1TR4F0RCE As someone from Sask, you are absolutely correct, it can be extreme in winter here.
Also you will dull the blade over time if you keep rubbing the blade over the sheath . 0:03
As someone somewhat new to prepping, I've realized you have to take all the prepping channel content in stride and adapt it to your own situation. Personally I feel that the Grey man approach is the best in my rural area but also being involved in the Scouts with my children I do find the more hiking style packs look more "Grey" than the 5.11 Tactical style packs. Even this pack is not bad as the side straps could hold trekking poles and items that would make most people just think camping stuff.
welcome to the club. as long as you train with your gear and get better that will put you way ahead of the pack.
There is no such thing as a "grey man" backpack.
In a non-crisis situation, no one cares what your backpack is. No one even notices it.
Jansport or tacticool... no one cares.
It can be covered in molle or be bright pink. It doesn't matter.
And in a crisis situation, *ANY* backpack sends one, and only one message:
"I have more stuff on me than I can carry."
No matter what backpack you have there's only one thing being shown. You have water, you have food, you have warmth, you have gear.
You can't conceal the fact you're carrying 15/20/35lbs worth of stuff.
The "grey man" concept is blending in with everyone else. But when "everyone else" is in dire straits, then the guy with stuff can't "blend in".
@@brianb8003thaaank you, ive seen people rocking tactical and military style bags all my life and no body has ever batted an eye
Honestly where im from its often just a basic school bag harbouring drugs, paraphernalia or weapons; so the idea of someone having survival gear isnt bad even if it does cross the mind lol
Don’t knock the Canadian prepper he has made a good living off his Doom and Gloom and selling survival equipment and supplies good on him good job Nate I still watch his show lol
Yes totally valid point
yeah people that knock him are jealous. not many people are that successful
It’s a show and tell kit, it does have some cool bits and pieces in it but I would give it a four out of ten 👍🏻🇦🇺
ok that's fair
@@TheSurvivalOutpost the reason I say this is because if the shit has really hit the fan and society has collapsed and I seen someone with a tacti cool pack I would want to know what sort of good stuff is in there, I think you should try and blend in with the civilian population and try not to look conspicuous 👍🏻
After backpacking and mountaineering in the PNW, and being a big guy who sweats amazing amounts... I learned very quickly that for any multi day anything a roll top waterproof backpack nesting everything in wet/dry bags was essential to keeping dry so I could keep moving. This includes extra empty wet dry bags so wet stuff could be isolated inside the pack until you could dried it out. Any normal backpack with an over the top rain cover will not cut it and are frankly a total hassle... Fact is, the largest pack I will use a stupid rain cover on is my Northface Megamouth 18 for day hikes. Anything larger and they are all roll top waterproof packs.
One can fit an awesome loadout in a Arc'teryx Acrux 50... And a few advantages to this particular pack, all of your gear is secured dry inside the pack so you can bushwhack through the wettest bushes without risk of losing anything and in a pinch the pack could be used to float across a river, God forbid you had to...
Yes 💯 a rain cover and dry bags is HUGE here in Florida and ofc the PNW. Great point and it’s good to know that those additions add weight but hey staying DRY is vital
Agreed, brother. Over time, I've slowly started moving into the dry bag packs for a year round solution. (Apparently, Canadian outdoorsman have been on this trend for awhile now)
I'm in Northern PA Appalachia. It's pretty much wet here as well most of the year (nothing like the PNW, obviously....unless you get closer west to the Great Lakes). I also frequent family in the Smoky Mountains, and coastal SC and FL.
I'm tired of the pack cover/poncho over the pack BS and as you mentioned, sweating as well. And crossing deep creeks and rivers is a frequent affair in the mountains here not to mention flooding situations.
I'm looking into around the 45 L or so dry packs with the hip belts. I was turned onto "Ortlieb" waterproof packs and some others. Costs a pretty penny though.
There's the ultralight (hyper lite) packs out there too but they all seem to only think about nice hiker paths and not having to cross major waterways which becomes a major reality in a SHTF situation.
There's a HUGE advantage of having everything in an already waterproof pack and even being able to just chuck it in water and float on it across water.
There's always the internal dry bags but it's not the same. You're still wetting and making heavier conventional material packs.
But wouldn't any backpack stay dry if you just wore a poncho over it... sence you'd wanna wear one in the rain anyway???
@@evalopez2700 Yeah. But what if you have to ford a larger river? What if you need to stop and setup camp while it's pouring?
Take the poncho off..pack off..now it's getting soaked. The ground is soaked. You're trying to quickly setup shelter to get your gear back under....
I mean, you can also just use a waterproof bag inside the pack too. But there is a major advantage and convenience of having all your stuff separately waterproof and able to float.
@@evalopez2700 a poncho is effective under light rain but as rain intensifies or time in the rain goes long, you will 100% get wet and soaked. One needs a rain cover on the pack and then everything bagged into dry bags or at bare min ziplocks sealed with duct tape
Spot on! There are many social media marketeers out there trying to make a living and convincing you to buy things that is really not needed in real life. I like your review about this prepper so that we don't easily fall prey to this type of content to sell us something 😀
thanks! that was my entire intent was to provide a fair and balanced critique of his gear and point out the stuff that I consider to be bs.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost ur doing more reviews on his channel than he does on his own channel lol, yea CP used to be a decent source of basic info on certain gear/survival skills, now it seems like some semi pro Russian doom and gloom channel, always tells u theres a problem but sells a solution. I mean if then end is nigh like he keeps saying he certainly is buying himself some nice stuff like the Tesla Cybertruck......u did a fair review here imo
You don't necessarily have to boil the freeze-dried meals. You can cold soak them on the move, and they will be editable on a couple hours.
so true, I Forgot to mention that. If I have a meal like I will cold soak it just like I do with the dehydrated chicken chunks I like to carry for snacks.
Add the water, then put the meal inside your shirt next to your skin. It won't get hot, but at least it won't be totally cold.
Rate the bag a 2 on your scale. It's nice to have Gucci stuff, but it's not terribly practical, and is often too expensive for the actual useful value when compared to other available things.
Im surprise he forgot to strap on his freeze drier. He only has a couple left in stock so I see why he didnt included it on top of his pack.
LOL you got me rolling here
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You will die without freezdryer in the wilderness "😂
@@b.george9360 most essential survival gear :)
😂😁☝🏼🥲
He's set up perfectly for camping in the back yard with quick trips inside for food and water and to use the bathroom.
To add to my previous comment, how can he put his knife on his belt? His pack has a hip belt. Perhaps he could use a chest harness for his knife.
Great question. In retrospect I should have mentioned my rig in the video but forgot. I use a 2 inch drop on my sheath so it clears the hip belt.
I can travel up to 300 mile in one direction for work. My vehicle get home bag is setup based on spring/summer or fall/winter weather. The goal of this bag is to get home as quickly as possible if I have to ditch my vehicle. So, in my vehicle I always have a firearm, Esse Izula knife, hat, jacket and comfortable hiking boots. The set up for my bag is a large knife, bank cordage, titanium firebox stove, lighter, hammock, flashlight, water bladder/with filter, titanium cup, basic medical, food that I cycle through a thin 10x10 lightweight tent footprint for a tarp change of socks and underwear.
Dig it! Well thought out survival kit and yes for sure the GHB has to be seasonal
My Get home bag would have only 5 contents, An emergency small bottle of bourbon and coke, a pack of cigarettes' and lighter, a few snacks ,$500 Cash and a satellite phone.
2:11 had me laughing 😂 you are so right, apparently we are gonna die in a couple months to weeks to days to hours ! Lmao he lost me with all that
just calling it like I see it :D
2 weeks is the difference between people who know what they need to pack and people who think what they want to pack.
Spend 2 weeks in the woods hiking, go on a thru hike. After 14 days, 100% of your life boils down to: food, water, shelter, transit. Thats it. All of equal importance, with the one you need most being primary.
Thats it. I swear. Thats all you will think about, aside from WEIGHT.
Every morning you will find something in your pack to leave behind to save weight.
I have a pretty extensive repair kit in my bag, shoe goo, super glue, tenacious tape, gorilla tape, sewing kit, zip ties, Goretex Patches, all kinds of crap to cover any repairs I'd need in a longer term situation, have it in a Condor molle pouch, weighs a pound or so, but if I need it, then I would really need it.
sounds like my mine. I recently added buttons and a few big safety pins that can easily hold a jacket together when a zipper fails or buttons.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I too have safety pins with the sewing kit, and a few buttons. I had a rain jacket gave to me because the zipper wouldn't work and I discovered that usually all you have to do is pry open the mouth of the moving part with the pull tab slightly or squeeze it closed slightly, and the zipper will work, very soft metal and easy to adjust, I used a screwdriver, and the zipper worked perfectly, I tried to give it back to the guy but he insisted that I take it. Just something to look at next time a zipper gives you crap.
nice yeah zippers can be a real PITA sometimes. thanks for the tip
Add in some glue sticks, the kind used in an electric glue gun. Can melt them over a fire to make repairs.
I add hook pins to sew on when my zipper fails.
Just a quick note, those mini bolt cutters, I use them quite often and they are super good and great quality. They will cut through fencing and Bobwire like butter. You must get you a pair.
I JUST ordered a pair based on your comment and everyone else. Cheers!

Is there a link for those?
If you look at how he has so many items unsecured to the outside of his ruck, it becomes absolutely crystal clear that he has never been in the bush because if he had all that gear would have been ripped loose by branches
Like everything else he does it’s designed to look cool
not to be effective in the field
It’s simple. I use the 10 C’s of survival plus the 5 extra for the bail out bag. Also, it’s one thing to have a bail out bag but do you actually have a plan? Where do you go to? Do you have a preplanned route and area to stay? Do you have a family and do they have a bail out bag? Do they know where to meet if not together? And more. I used to have a bail out bag until I figured out that staying put and defending my area is way easier and simpler then bugging out.
Yes I agreed, bugging out should be the last resort.
I thought that was a fair treatment. I do not know Nate (Canadian Prepper) personally, but from his videos, I'm inclined to believe he lives where he will indeed have good access to water. He has also demonstrated enough bushcraft skills that he probably can make use of everything in the pack. He probably also has his route(s) planned out and does not anticipate belly-crawling through brush or otherwise getting snagged while bugging out from "A" to "B". While I could not carry a 50 lb. pack very far at all, he is a lot younger and in much better shape. His pack would be way over the top for me, but may be close to ideal for him; a score of "4" for me, but probably "9" for him. As you say, each person needs to build a pack to meet his own needs (and limitations).
Thanks, I had no intention of making a video bashing him but rather a fair and balanced critique of his kit. Thanks for dropping in.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost That is the impression I got. Nice job.
I would say its fine for walking a road or trail with, going off trail he would eventually start to loose things
If he had to run from people with that on then that would be a problem regardless of his size
You would be correct, Canada is home to 62% of the world's lakes. About 880,000 in Canada. Plus snow in the winter.
And of you count the really small lakes, then Canada has over 2 million in total.
@@driver3899
Yeah, but you'd have a hard time surviving with a pack light enough to get away from people chasing you.
Here's my bag, in the Army we called it a house:
Alice pack. 2nd set of dry clothes. Set of merino thermals. (Total of 3 pairs of socks and a hat). Boots (on feet), maybe lightweight spare shoes. Wet weather gear.Sleeping bag, bivvy bag, tarp, Sleeping mat. General purpose knife, folding knife (or multi tool). Small shovel or E tool. Cups canteen or pot. Water bottles, water filter. Booboo kit. Lighter. Cordage. Dry bags.
Thats about it, 20 to 25 Kgs without water, food or ammo.
Thats about it.
Had food and water resup in the Army, these days I hunt and forage.
Nothing fancy, just the basics. After that: improvise, adapt and overcome.
The golden rule is "you have to carry it"
Your recipe may vary.
50 pounds without food, water, and ammo. “Thats about it” 😆
You'll be ditching stuff in 2 hours, dehydrated in 12 and weak from hunger after 24. Toss all that crap except your knife, a piece of 550 cord and a lighter. Add a HD trash bag, food, water filter and metal bottle. A spare mag for your PDW, but if you need more than that you've already made some major mistakes to end up in that situation. You won't be digging a fighting position, you're going to run from danger.
Backpackers know that POUNDS=PAIN. Always your get-home bag should be in agreement with your distance from home, and that should be your primary goal. Comfort is not something you need to consider if you're within a couple days' walk from home. Warm weather vs. cold, so change your gear out with the seasons. A 150-mile walk in January is totally different from July.
Real ogs remember Maine Prepper..best survival channel ever
hell yeah I remember Maine Prepper, that goes wayyy back. what happened to him?
@@TheSurvivalOutpostHe had some mental stuff from ptsd or a tbi. Went to the VA for help and ended up deleting his channel. Someone re uploaded most of his videos
I think he gives some good ideas, and so do you. Mostly, I think a lot of what he was showing was like you said "Show and tell". My girly bug out bag, which I started while living in the city of Toronto, Ontario. For starters, it was put together, kinda for fun (for a 3 day period), in case I ever had to leave the city. So, for my Bug out bag, this is what is in it so far. It has a couple of 'life straws', map of Toronto (Paper), energy bars, first aid kit, sewing kit, bug spray, compass, full body mosquito suits, (my knife-which attaches to my belt), rain ponchos/jacket, those foil blankets, exploding towels (the ones that are compact until they hit water, wooden matches, a tarp with small bundle of nylon rope, and one of those small folding saws, for branches, if I ever need to attempt to make a lean-to, and one of those flashlights, that you can shake if the battery dies.....so far thats it. Oh, and by the way, I'm a 60+ years old lady lol How am I doing so far?
I’d say your doing better than 90% of the rest well done 👍🏻
I would add a very small but sensitive AM/FM/SW radio receiver and at least 30 ft of small insulated wire for an antenna. The Tecsun PL-330 is my top pick because it`s USB rechargeable and has SSB function to tune shortwave HAM radio bands. And a 20-30 watt portable folding solar panel or a small power brick.
@@baneverything5580 Thank you for that suggestion, it'd be good to know whats going on, while news might still be broadcast.
Not that I don't agree with you, and I also stopped watching him when he became the self-appointed harbinger of death, but this is not the content I personally enjoy seeing from you Blitz. I have always enjoyed watching you do you and giving us some tips and tricks from your experience. I always like that you are straight up and honest about what you know and what you are still learning as well. Makes me feel like we are a part of your journey. I Hope to see more videos of you out in the field soon!
Thanks for the comment and you'll be happy to know a new video will be coming out soon on Cache Recovery. I buried a resupply cache 6 months and now its time to get it, should be fun and an excellent learning experience.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Awesome, I will be looking forward to seeing it! I watch all of your videos, including that one, and I planted a cache using your tips too. Thank you for what you do :)
Cool! thanks for your support!
I agree with your point overall. I do see value in calling out those who may convince people who don't know any better to buy things they don't need or set their gear up in impractical ways. We should also call out those who make preparedness look like something that's a gimmick or rooted in fear/paranoia.
If you’re watching Nate I believe you want to be informed. There are leaders and followers if you’re not leading then follow! If you care about being prepared then do so. If you’re looking to call out an individual based on your own opinions and have done nothing to set the record straight then you’re talking. This guy didn’t necessarily bash Nate, but Nate made it clear his bag was for him! You should just tell us about your bag or pegging back off his name for views!
I just dropped a brand new video of my entire urban survival kit, caching strategy and bov. Drop in and check it out th-cam.com/video/pcZY38VFuoI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w46LzuaL3UWPEhwO
He should think more about well placed caches than a ginormous bob.
Very good review
What's missing in my experience is ways to capture wild protein. I carry 2 mouse traps and 2 rat traps with holes for anchoring. Along with snares, you are not going to survive long on the freeze dried food, then what? Check often so you get your plunder before the bobcat or other critters do. Catch everything from snakes to birds and you will be glad you did.
Yes that is such a good point and the hunting/fishing/trapping aspect is one factor that is my weak point.
The Canadian prepper and literally makes fun of my channel the All-American prepper I'm so flattered
😃
I like CP's channel & thought you were going to bash him. This was in my opinion a very, very fair, honest, and realistic reaction. I really like your professional take on this.
I appreciate that
I got tired of the daily "IT BEGINS IN 24 HOURS!" hyped up clickbait thumbnails/titles. The guy is way out of line and now blocked.
To be fair the first rule is look cool. The second is dont die! 😂
dammit you are right 😂
Miss your urban and wilderness adventures. Thanks for your content and passion for training in preparedness.
Well got good news, I'm headed out for an Urban training exercise next week, stay tuned.
I can't think of CanadianPrepper without saying.. $800 wheelbarrow!
AHHHH I'm ded :D
I don't even have a "Bug-Out" bad anymore.... Much of the items in it I rarely ever used, and that's because after all these decades & decades & decades (I'm 59 years old), there was never a need to use my "Bug-Out" bag.... During my cross country Van Camping ventures (on & off for 40 years exploring 48 States & most of Canada), sure, I do carry my essentials & some emergency equipment, but I never once needed my emergency equipment, so just my regular essentials is all I ever needed.... When I go hiking, I don't need a water filter or a bladder because I already have water in my van and I drink up before the hike, and I bring along my water bottle, and during my travels, I eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at restaurants, but I may take some snacks on the trail along with my Bear Spray & 357 attached to my waist strap.... Sure, I can understand that some hikes can be long and bad things can happen, but this video is about BUG OUT BAGS, not Hiking Bags... LOL.... Well, maybe someday WW3 or a 2nd Civil War or a HUGE TERRORIST ATTACK may happen due to the Dem/Lib Open Borders, or maybe the Yellowstone SUPER VULCANO will erupt destroying America, Canada, and other countries, and maybe perhaps The ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, like in the Michael Jackson THRILLER will come crawling out of places to bite & eat people... I don't know, or maybe a REAL LEGITAMATE PANDEMIC will happen, not a fake one, like the 2020/2021, and maybe then I will need a Bug Out bag.
Good review, each person has a different bug out bag, but many don’t talk about possibly losing the bag days into your bug out. You should have a small sling type or belt mount bag with the absolute necessary survival gear that’s separate. His pack is set up for his comforts, and he obviously knows where he’s bugging too. The external frame you mentioned is an absolute. Get a pack that supports you with a few extras. Don’t hang what you may need on the outside, it gets lost, snagged, or worse, injures you. Each person or family member should be carrying something with them in comfort. This includes the dog if you have one or more. Do not put absolute necessities on the dog! You may lose one or both, keep light, mobile, and be adept at the use of every piece of gear you have, knife, gun,striker flint, tape, etc. Know a dozen ways to use items not designed for their known purpose. Accept,Adapt, Overcome, and DONT DIE. Cheers
I am Canadian and was elated to see a Prepper from Canada. Yes, he has got some good info, however, as time went on he was very much into selling his product (which is very expensive) from his brand new, very modern looking 'warehouse'. His clickbait titles and 'the sky is falling' in 10, 9, 8,....days finally had me unsubscribed and move to the US Survivalist Channels - who actually have the background and experience of being in situations where you need to use the survival skills, know the why's and wherefors, give explanations as to why you do this and not that, etc, and there are many to choose from. Thank you for being here.
great comment and thanks for your take.
Way back when I was in my teens I lived in the woods all the time, we never called it survival but it's the same thing. Absolutely bear minimum gear. Instant rice and oatmeal with bullion cubes and a way to clean water. Made about everything else in the field. Now I'm 63 years old and I don't see myself bugging out unless I have no other choice. But I do watch CP for entertainment. It's called fear porn after all. But remember, if he did know what he was talking about we all would have died like 40 times already.
The Canadian prepper is the reason why I hate preppers because every video he makes is saying something’s gonna happen when it doesn’t even happen at all
lol you're not wrong
I Like the News that He Shares, as Far as Prepping; Any One in the SHTF Circumstance Will Never Get Anywhere without God; He Will Take Care of His Own, if You don't Have Him You've Already Lost.
Christ is KING
Ive come to the conclusion that tactical really means single use only product.
you're probably not wrong there lol
CANADIAN PEPPER is coo
He has my attention.
Every one's preparedness level is different.
At least he makes you think about preparedness.
We all need training.
Respect from San Diego
Yup I do agree
Came for the review, stayed for the "that's what she said" jokes. 😂👌
When one of the first things you pointed out was the unpractical practice of strapping all kinds of gear to the outside of the pack, I knew this would be a video with some sense! And, boy, was I right. Very well done!
This is a fair assessment of the video in question, provides helpful information, and points out (among other things) that buying gear just for the sake of having gear, is not the most helpful. You gotta go out and test your gear, walk around with it and see what you works for you. (Full disclosure: the gear in my pack is usually brand new, but that's only because I will use a product for a long while and if I like it, can trust it, then I'll buy another to keep in my pack. But everything goes through the paces, which is the spirit of what the video said, I think.)
Side note: I'm never mad at TH-camrs making money from selling items/merch/whatever (get that bag, baby!), as long as the information they provide and items they recommend/sell are good, genuine, practical, and would benefit the user even if the TH-camr wasn't selling anything. However, you can tell when a channel has crossed into "I'm just making a video to sell you all this stuff" territory Canadian Prepper, crossed that line a long time ago.
Sorry for the long comment! lol!
I'm glad the she said jokes resonated LOL
2018 I found Canadian Prepper and his content, he has rolled along with the every day events of the world. To my knowledge he’s genuinely helping people come to terms with the facts about war and being ready for what will follow. His take on preparedness leaves nothing to chance, his message has always been DONT let ant emergency sneak up on you, do your best to survive. So you ozgott are way out of line thinking you can judge him and really you shouldn’t be judging others. Get your act together and prepare yourself because Nate is concerned about survival and you are just a puppet
As a Cdn I would like to see him actually using the pack+ in the field, and show how great those items are in use. I find shows like his a good place to remind me of what I need or review opinions and products out there. I am going up north for 2 wks, and am reminded that I only needed half of the stuff I thought I would need last year. However, the joke here is it might snow, and there I would rather have that warm, water proof change of clothes+ then not. Girl Guide motto, or atleast when I was that young, "Be Prepared".Thanks and High 5's
thanks for sharing your take!
Canadian prepper is as canadian as Batango N'Golong Golo.
Europeans have made Canada.

Thank you for making this video. Trust is such a rare commodity on TH-cam. When you've got 10x the subs, please keep your feet on the ground and stay real.
Glad you liked it. My goal was two fold with this new form of content. First I wanted to provide a fair and balanced critique of his kit. Secondly I wanted to created a form of content I have never seen in this prepper / survivalist space and hopefully in the process expand my audience and also have fun making new content.
Seems like the gamble paid off, I plan on doing these style of React videos more often maybe one a month or every few months.
I'm doing the best I can just for today to stand grounded and provide real world actionable content that can hopefully help others. Thanks for the support!
Survival is an instinct, I’ve never seen a squirrel with a bug out bag
I rate him a 1. There is a 100% chance he doesn't carry it himself any further than for the shot of this video. And furthermore, it actually hurts people who would be interested if not in bugging out, just hiking. He's just a gear peddler...
A couple years ago I remember passing a group of kids on the SHT most appeared to be having a good time.... And about 10 minutes after the main group had past 3 girls came walking past, one was being crushed by her pack, with her two friends helping her with motivation. I couldn't help but think she was never going to want to try hiking again. I felt like if there was one person in her life who told her she didn't need to pack all that stuff... Not only would she have had a better day that day, but there is also a good chance she would have been more agreeable to go out hiking again.
Some of my formative hiking memories were of packs that were unmanageable. I had the good fortune of actually being on the trails and coming across people whose gear was lighter and better in every way. You can't help but change when you see what works and for that reason, I can tell there is no substance here, the is no evolution, there are just product placements....
I think we all probably start out heavy but ideally we trim down the weight through trial and error. And being open to change when you see other's with a better way...even shaving off 5lbs makes a big diff
I like to go pretty heavy on certain types of gear. I live about 5000 ft. On a mountain in Appalachia. I go heavy on weapons, and ammo, that will drop by bear like a giraffe. And I use foothold traps, and snares. It is packed for winter time, even in the summer. Because if I have to bug out of my location. I don't need to walk fifty miles a day. Or I would be walking toward the cities. I carry about 8 or 10 days worth of food. But I built My bug-out bag, just as if I will never get a resupply. So I depend heavily on hunting, fishing, and trapping. I use a Marine corps ILBE pack. I heard someone called it a "INCH"-Bag. Stands for, "I'm never coming home." I keep a sleeping bag that is warm enough to survive without a fire. Because if we keep poking the bear, we will not be running to our houses. Everyone will be in escape, and evasion mode. The last thing people will hear in their homes, is; Breach, Bang, All Clear! Except it will be in Russian, or Chinese. If it's possible, the best way to stay warm in the mountains, in the winter time; is to dig a subterranean shelter. God Bless America. And keep on Prepping.
Love the ILBE, used to have one and then moved to the FILBE. I love me some Apalachian back country. Grew up in WVA.
i grew up in triadelphia wv
Nice! I grew up in Logan
Thank you, from southern NH! Subterranean shelter it is.
Someone's watched Red Dawn too many times!
I'd LOVE to see the Russians or Chinese (or both) try a land attack on us. It was Emperor Tojo in WWII who said they'd never attack America's mainland because "behind every blade of grass would be an American with a gun." Only a hundred million or more guns sold since then.
And every good ol' boy with a Winchester 30/30 would be taking out enemy troops from 300-600 yards.
Nope, they'll soften us up first, either nuke twenty of the biggest cities, or EMP the hell out of us. And frankly, I cannot conceive why someone hasn't EMP'ed us yet. It's cheap, foolproof, effective and untraceable. It would kill the US for generations.
I'm homeless in a small town and what I have is a backpack, 1 water bottle, 2 pairs of clothes 4 pairs of socks/ underwear
2 jackets, 1 rain jacket 1 wind breaker jacket, a stainless steel cup, a SERE pouch, important documents, firearm, EDC pocket knife, hygiene kit and a job / money to eat and wash laundry
That’s literally a perfect well balanced kit. Thanks for sharing and hope your situation improves
I wear a like colored 20liter pack every single day without fail. Real absolute necessities water- ammo- and things I do Not open carry on me into a post office etc. I never wear it to work on anything I assume will soil it intentionally, yet… it’s one year anniversary has never been reached without being replaced because ITS DISGUSTING!! It is stained n stinks and I have half a dozen exactly same packs. That rucksack has Never seen a night in a grassy city park Canadian Ham Prepped yet Never Practiced his bullshit
I unsubscribed from him a long time ago. His doom and gloom program has determined many times that we would be destroyed. Also, for being a Canadian he is very obsessed with everything American. Guess there’s nothing going on in Canada.
appreciate your take as a Canadian. maybe someday he'll get off the doom and gloom and back to the content that had me subscribe in the first place.
cheers!
As a fellow Canadian you nailed him buddy good one.
glad you liked it. I tried to strike a balance and give him credit for the good stuff but call him out on the BS
Accurate !!
I was almost waiting for the shampoo
I had a lot of complaints about that kit when I watched the original vid. Glad to see someone else complain about the 100 days thing...no way that kit lasts you 100 days. No way that is a 100 days, and not nearly enough stuff to even supplement hunting and forage. Also agree about the amount of stuff strapped to outside and the full change of clothes.
I figure that kit would cost about $4000.00 (I'm a Canadian too) and I rate it about 5/10
That 100 days bit just irked me big time lol. Glad you agree
Great vid, keep the good work on the Canadian prepper.😄
Thanks glad you liked it
I backpacked often back in the 90s when i was a kid, as i was heavily involved with boy scouts. I have an old Kelty pack from the late 80s with many miles on it, probably still one of the most comfortable packs i ever used.
My BoB has a front and back packs. Canadian Prepper got me started building them. Having a front and back pack helps to balance the weight front and back relieves back pressure on your spine. Both packs have level 3 ballistic armor .
front pack?
a chest pack
LC1 is a really good front pack. I picked one up and it's versatility is brilliant.
@@Mendax80 I’ll check it out , thanks 🙏
Canadian preeper is just a salesmen lol
Your priority is your security. You need a gun, or several guns. If you only have a knife, someone will just come and get your bagpack. The movies about the zombie apocalypse are 100% correct. You will most likely die from encounters with other humans. Not zombies, not the elements. Someone wants your stuff. So be able to protect yourself (and hunt other people to get their stuff - What, you don't think it's possible? Wait 20 days)
Humans are the apex predator
The Gucci prepper (he sells all this stuff)
yup for sure
I like CP.. I subscribed when I was learning to prep for my family. I'm a concerned mom who has adult children that live in denial, even after losing everything in CA wildfires. I eventually unsubscribed because of all the doom and gloom, no need to be reminded.
CP's a good content creator. Reviewing gear is very important to me as a fairly new prepper. I think he's legit as far as survival, prepping etc.. I hope he continues to be successful.
Your point about the knife was excellent. I subscribed after I watched this video. Your free downloads are great, gave me some ideas to better our bags. Thank you!
awesome glad to you have you as a new subscriber!
i'll be doing more of these videos in the future so I posted a poll on the community page for people to choose the next channel for me to critique. Check it out and be sure to vote.
Cheers!
I’m a lineman and use Klein but those knipex cutters work great.
thanks for the real world take
Like most people, I like CP videos when they're not just end-of-the-world predictions, but I've never considered his survivalist information that valuable. He's a prepper, and to me, that's very far from being what I consider a survivalist. More hoarder of gear than a survivalist. If you haven't been in the military or spent prolonged time outdoors it's all just LARPing. What surprises me over the years is just how little gear i have and just how little i need to change anything
Exceeded point
I'd never believe that the pack he is wearing has any more than 35 pounds in it. thanks for the great video.
we may never know...what if CP commented on this video LOL, that would be interesting, glad you liked it!
Are you kidding? That pack alone weighs 6lbs. The wool blanket is 5lbs and two litres of water weighs 4.4lbs. Now add the baofang 1lb. The sol shovel and the silky gomboy 1.3lbs. Lily knife is 1 lbs. Zubat plus sheath 1lb. Stainless bottle 0.8lb. A flare gun kit is at minimum 3lbs. Chopper is over 2lbs. Bolt cutters 8lb.
Aquamira system without filter 0.8lbs. 27.3lbs and we haven't even opened the pack yet!!! I haven't calculated food, ferro rods, ifac, shelter or all the superfluous gadgets!!!⁷
good job running the numbers, yeah the weight of the tools adds up big time.
@@melaniedebagheera7082😅
🤣
Plastic garbage bags are very handy the big black ones. I keep 20 of them ... If done right you can shelter with them very well
Nice to see someone else reacting to the Canadian Prepper. I always thought he is over the top with his videos and you are breaking it down very well. 👍
And yes, he is totally into fear porn. 😆
What do you think about the "Koppeltragegestell" system (german), like the soldiers have? You'd still have some gear, when your bagback was lost.
Over the top? Like the disposable wet wipes? How much utility per ounce do you get with those? Total fluff!
@@tomjeffersonwasright2288
Are we talking about wet wipes or tactical gear?
5/10 on his bag. He had some great gear. Seems like he doubled alot- two is one, one is none mindset. A lot of weight that could have been used differently. Stuff he has seems to be good stuff though. He is a prepper, so i wouldn't be surprised if he transports that bag everywhere. I am a defensive practitioner, i carry many things on me, everyday. As far as his videos- I've called out his clickbait thumbnails and titles. They are a bit much. I do watch him though. He is good at covering current events that need to be discussed in a well enough demeanor. I probably watch every other video. Is he a survival expert? No, and I don't think he tries to play that part. I think he plays his part well as a "prepper", and gives people info to think about and prepare for what is most likely going to happen by the relevance of current climate. He's friendly enough, he's cool enough, interesting enough. But yeah, the clickbait is irritating. He must have a doctorate in marketing.
That's a fair and balanced comment. Appreciate your take
Cp is real bad for click bait. You are right about strapping stuff to the bag. Been there done that. Took that stuff off. I rock maxpedition packs. Not too big and built tough. Thats after i overloaded a large internal frame pack and broke the frame. I could go on and on. He is pushing gear. All that stuff is brand new and never used. I doubt he has ever even unfolded that blanket. He pushes the fear porn real hard too.
Man I love you no nonsense approch, I follow Canadian prepper for a long time and like you said since about a year now he is master click bait we are going to die yesterday and a lot of prepper do that now and it is bordering me a lot because they stop their good information quality video for clicks and money. Canadian Prepper have a outdoor/survival online shop so I think when He do those type of video he juste pick some new stuff he have to build a kit take a couple of photos and video and post it on youtube to sponsore product he sell. I guess every body have to make money but man when he was designing his bug out roll you can tell he use is gear because the gear he has in look used and scuff, now he only show brand new item I am sure didnt use at all and are just there to sell. Anyway love your stuff keep up and I am alway excited to see your next vid!!
Don't get me wrong, I don't knock anyone for making money. This is my side business that I invest time and money in and yes I sell gear and affiliate links. Can't have a business if you can't make $$$. However after a while seeing all the bright shiny gear got me wondering if this stuff is ever even used?
Either way, my goal with this video was to provide a fair and balanced critique of his kit and seems like everyone digs it! Thanks for the support
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Yeah I know the point wasn't to bash on him and my point was how can you recommand other people to buy and use gear that their live will depend on If you haven't even try them, this is dangerous for customer who buy them! But if he used those tools like I know he used and abuse a lot of silky saws than show us the used one so we could see what kind of wear and tear you get. The way he make money doesnt bother me but when you put click bait like he does and you click on the video and it is not what the title say this is where he lost me!
In my expert opinion, I'd give his bag a 7/10 - too big for me, and I would do the food very differently focusing more on carrying seasonings and dehydrated base ingredients, IF my intention was a 100 day bag.
I think Nate does his best and is honest - he's pretty open about not being the best prepper in the world and having a lot of areas he can improve on.
I liked your review, only comment would be that to my way of thinking, water is more readily available than easy food, so I'd be inclined to bring as much dehydrated food as I could. I don't see it as a choice between eating and rehydration, because the water that goes into the food will hydrate you also.
Seems less efficient to carry water in pre hydrated food like cans or pouches, that you can't drink and can only eat. With dehydrated food you can choose how you use your water.
Only downside is that you need to stop usually to hydrate/cook it... So some ready to eat meals and snacks for consumption while getting out of Dodge is definitely a good idea!
Great detailed comment, appreciate your perspective about food and water
I've done some cross country realistic several day bugout practices.
I think this bag is much too large. I don't think you need so many tools.
Water is a tough problem. I have a sillcock key. I have a collapsing bladder, I have a metal cup and container. Redundancy.
I like heavy canvas. Id rather have one heavy canvas tarp I KNOW is water proof and fire resistant than multiple other features.
I like hammocks. Quick to put up, but I know there are downsides.
Some considerations, is a radio going to provide weather forecasts during grid down?
Is clean air, and security going to be issues?
I think every "bugout" situation must have a destination.
Are you bringing anything useful with you?
Seeds are light, and can provide long term industry.
Ha! I totally agreed with you mate! No previous military experiences and trying to show us how we should survive during SHTF or end of the world event! Ya… try running around with that pack of his!!!
I am a Canadian and kind of embarrassed by Nate (Canadian Prepper). We have our own issues in Canada like Gun bans. Tired of hearing about Ukraine!
Ouch!
I am sure that you look forward to the day that some up and coming content creator is reviewing your how-to vids lol I like Canadian Prepper - I agree with you on many points and yeah he's been hitting the doom and gloom a lot but he also does provide some good info that you don't find in many other places or no other places. I much prefer his version of this to Brad's on his channel. Though, Brad is doing quite well too isn't he?
Yeah I def like and welcome critique. Big
fan of that and accountability. Both of em doing great and it’s good to see people succeed no doubt. I’m starting to get a taste of success in my business now that I have more time and it’s awesome to see coming together
With a good break barrel air rifle, and a small fishing setup, you could go live in the woods for a LOT longer than 100 days.
And remember, he's in Canada.
Canada has 879,800 lakes, 62% of the world's total of just 1.42 million lakes.
Plus there's the assload of snow in the winter. He's probably pretty good on getting a cup of water.
Hang around Alberta and British Columbia come within 50 yds of a grizzly and tell me how much that pellet gun is worth
@@tylesveque2373he lives in Saskatchewan so no grizzlies just black bears and in the Saskatoon area apparently you get mostly coyotes and red foxes so really not anything you need to be afraid of
i watch Canadian Prepper alot but i also watch other preppers like City Prepper, and homesteading preppers channels like that and others for different options and knowledge. Prepping for doomsday in the Philippines will be a little bit different on some aspect so i suggest everyone to be quite diverse and select the points from each of them that suits you and your skill. Tbh i'm not really into the gloom and doom kind of stuffs like what his doing but having different perspectives on the current event is also healthy though. I also don't heavily rely on mainstream medias Int'l and local bacuase they aren't telling the truth most of the time.
I totally agree, survival must be suited to your environment
